With this addon to Friendica you can give your user the possibility to post
|
|
||||||
their *public* messages to Twitter. The messages will be strapped their rich
|
|
||||||
context and shortened to 140 characters length if necessary. If shortening of
|
|
||||||
the message was performed a link will be added to the Tweet pointing to the
|
|
||||||
original message on your server.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The addon can also mirror a users Tweets into the ~friendica wall.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
There is a similar addon for forwarding public messages to
|
|
||||||
"StatusNet":http://status.net [[StatusNet Plugin]].
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Online version of this document: http://ur1.ca/35mml
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
___ Requirements ___
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
To use this plugin you have to register an application for your friendica
|
|
||||||
instance on Twitter with
|
|
||||||
* read and write access
|
|
||||||
* don't set a callback URL
|
|
||||||
* we do not intend to use Twitter for login
|
|
||||||
The registration can be done at twitter.com/apps and you need a Twitter
|
|
||||||
account for doing so.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
After you registered the application you get an OAuth consumer key / secret
|
|
||||||
pair that identifies your app, you will need them for configuration.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The inclusion of a shorturl for the original posting in cases when the
|
|
||||||
message was longer than 140 characters requires it, that you have *PHP5+* and
|
|
||||||
*curl* on your server.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
___ Where to find ___
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
In the Friendica git repository /addon/twitter/, this directory contains
|
|
||||||
all required PHP files (including the Twitter OAuth library [1] by Abraham
|
|
||||||
Williams, MIT licensed and the Slinky library [2] by Beau Lebens, BSD license),
|
|
||||||
a CSS file for styling of the user configuration and an image to _Sign in with
|
|
||||||
Twitter_.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

|
|
||||||
[2] http://dentedreality.com.au/projects/slinky/
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
___ Configuration ___
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
__ Global Configuration __
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If you enabled an administrator account, please use the admin panel to configure
|
|
||||||
the Twitter relay. If you for any reason prefer to use a configuration file instead
|
|
||||||
of the admin panels, please refer to the Alternative Configuration below.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Activate the plugin from the plugins section of your admin panel. When you have
|
|
||||||
done so, add your consumer key and consumer secret in the settings section of the
|
|
||||||
plugin page.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
When this is done your user can now configure their Twitter connection at
|
|
||||||
"Settings -> Connector Settings" and enable the forwarding of their *public*
|
|
||||||
messages to Twitter.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
__ Alternative Configuration __
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
To activate this addon add @twitter@ to the list of active addons in your
|
|
||||||
.htconfig.php file
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
$a->config['system']['addon'] = "twitter, ..."
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Afterwards you need to add your OAuth consumer key / secret pair to it by
|
|
||||||
adding the following two lines
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
$a->config['twitter']['consumerkey'] = 'your consumer KEY here';
|
|
||||||
$a->config['twitter']['consumersecret'] = 'your consumer SECRET here';
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
__ User Configuration __
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
When the OAuth consumer informations are correctly placed into the
|
|
||||||
configuration file and a user visits the "Plugin Settings" page they can now
|
|
||||||
connect to Twitter. To do so one has to follow the _Sign in with Twitter_
|
|
||||||
button (the page will be opened in a new browser window/tab) and get a PIN from
|
|
||||||
Twitter. This PIN has to be entered on the settings page. After submitting the
|
|
||||||
PIN the plugin will get OAuth credentials identifying this user from the
|
|
||||||
Friendica account.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If this first step was successful the Twitter configuration will be changed
|
|
||||||
on the "Plugin Settings" page displaying two check boxes. One to enable/disable
|
|
||||||
the forwarding of *all public* postings to Twitter and one to clear the
|
|
||||||
personal configuration from the Twitter credentials.

|

|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Mirroring of Public Postings
|
||||||
|
----------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To avoid endless loops of public postings that are send to Twitter and then
|
||||||
|
mirrored back into your friendica stream you have to set the _name of the
|
||||||
|
application you registered there_ of your friendica node is using to post to
|
||||||
|
Twitter in the .htconfig.php file.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
$a->config['twitter']['application_name'] = "yourname here";
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Connector Options for the User
|
||||||
|
==============================
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When the OAuth consumer informations are correctly placed into the
|
||||||
|
configuration file and a user visits the "Connector Settings" page they can now
|
||||||
|
connect to Twitter. To do so one has to follow the _Sign in with Twitter_
|
||||||
|
button (the page will be opened in a new browser window/tab) and get a PIN from
|
||||||
|
Twitter. This PIN has to be entered on the settings page. After submitting the
|
||||||
|
PIN the plugin will get OAuth credentials identifying this user from the
|
||||||
|
friendica account.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
After this step was successful the user now has the following config options.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* **Allow posting to StatusNet** If you want your _public postings_ being
|
||||||
|
optionally posted to your associated Twitter account as well, you need to
|
||||||
|
check this box.
|
||||||
|
* **Send public postings to StatusNet by default** if you want to have _all_
|
||||||
|
your public postings being send to your Twitter account you need to check
|
||||||
|
this button as well. Otherwise you have to enable the relay of your postings
|
||||||
|
in the ACL dialog (click the lock button) before posting an entry.
|
||||||
|
* **Mirror all posts from statusnet that are no replies or repeated messages**
|
||||||
|
if you want your postings from Twitter also appear in your friendica
|
||||||
|
postings, check this box. Replies to other people postings, repostings and your own
|
||||||
|
postings that were send from friendica wont be mirrored into your friendica
|
||||||
|
stream.
|
||||||
|
* **Shortening method that optimizes the post** by default friendica checks how
|
||||||
|
many characters your Twitter instance allows you to use for a posting and
|
||||||
|
if a posting is longer then this amount of characters it will shorten the
|
||||||
|
message posted on Twitter and add a short link back to the original
|
||||||
|
posting. Optionally you can check this box to have the shortening of the
|
||||||
|
message use an optimization algorithm. _TODO add infos how this is
|
||||||
|
optimized_
|
||||||
|
* **Send linked #-tags and @-names to StatusNet** if you want your #-tags and
|
||||||
|
@-mentions linked to the friendica network, check this box. If you want to
|
||||||
|
have Twitter handle these things for the relayed end of the posting chain,
|
||||||
|
uncheck it.
|
||||||
|
* **Clear OAuth configuration** if you want to remove the currently associated
|
||||||
|
Twitter account from your friendica account you have to check this box and
|
||||||
|
then hit the submit button. The saved settings will be deleted and you have
|
||||||
|
to reconfigure the Twitter connector to be able to relay your public
|
||||||
|
postings to a Twitter account.
